I have Nashbar brand SPD MTB pedals (dual sided). On Friday, one set of coil springs and the spring loaded rear piece flew off while I was riding. I have two questions:
1. Has anyone else had this experience?
2. I have another set of used pedals (replaced with the current set when parts broke off), has anyone ever tried to repair SPD pedals by swapping parts?
(Yes, I am cheap.)
I expect the problem to be inserting the coil springs without a special tool of some sort.

The Wellgo SPD pedals do self-destruct occasionally. They are cheap enough that you can buy several
pairs and cannibalize them for parts (most seem to share identical components). On the pedals I have
rebuilt, the tension screw could be backed off enough to zero the spring tension.
I have taken the parts off of the older pedal and found that I could zero out the spring tension. Now in a day or two I will try to reassemble the newer pedal. Thank you.

The little screws have a tendency to come loose, causing the flying parts syndrome. I was tempted to
try some locktite on the last pair but found that the problem may simply be loose screws out of the
box. I tightened them well all around and found several were loose. Didn't have any problems with
that pair.

Not that there's anything wrong with that!

Although my wife may disagree. Saving money is an art.
